[00:20] I wont have a chance to for a while, I'll ping you when I have some time to, thanks [00:20] sure :) === Lcawte is now known as Lcawte|Away [08:47] morning boys and girls.

[14:53] quiet [16:08] Any broadcom wireless experts around? We've got a clean install of 15.04 but no wifi, and another ubuntu machine nearby that has internet access. We have a USB stick.... ;) [16:17] isleofmandan: easiest would be a USB ethernet dongle to install packages ;) [16:18] isleofmandan: anyway, install this: http://packages.ubuntu.com/vivid/admin/broadcom-sta-dkms [16:18] Thanks.. Just hooked up a phone with USB tethering [16:18] (download, dpkg -i, download dependencies, dpkg -i, repeat until done) [16:19] oh then it's easier [16:19] just install broadcom-sta-dkms [16:20] I need a 4G phone.. lol [16:20] they have 4G on the isle? :P [16:21] They do. My phone doesn't :) [16:21] they have electricity and running water too!! [16:21] cheeky [16:21] i was being sarky at martijn, not you ;) [16:23] Boo. "Bad return status for module build..." What's that all about then? [16:32] doing the old 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade' on a 3G phone is sloooow :) [16:57] i have some good news, i just asked my gf what she would say if i were to ask her to be my wife, and she said, "it would be amazing to be your wife and to be yours someday". :) [16:57] Thanks for the help folks. We're getting kicked out of CodeClub now. He'll have to struggle by on his own! [16:57] congrats brobostigon. When is some day? ;) [16:58] ty, :). it means sometime undetermined time in the future. [16:58] some undetermined time* [16:58] :) [16:59] :) === aptanet is now known as whaletales === whaletales is now known as aptanet [17:02] Saved at the final hour. He has wi-fi :) If any of you are at OggCamp in Liverpool next month, I owe you a beer. [17:02] Cheers. [18:43] finally, doctor who :) [19:12] we've got some swifts or swallows on a field near here; they're *way* too fast to focus on though - how the heck do you tell what they are [19:16] look at the wings, [19:16] catch it in a big net [19:17] i think you can tell by the wing shape or something, try a bird ID guide it may have a siloette of each so you can tell [19:18] will have to try getting the speed on his camera really really fast [19:19] so far my only way of getting any pictures of them is to focus on one point in the field and take a rapid succession of images and hope that one or two of them have the bird in [20:34] has anyone tried converting ogg->mp3 ? [20:34] wonder what the quality reduction is like? [20:34] in the past i converted half my collection to ogg until i realised it wasn' the future [20:35] never had the resolve to get the CDs out of the boxes and re rip [20:38] I'd think it depends how anal you were about the original rips. eg, if you've done them all at 320, then ogg-320 to mp3-256 probably isn't going to hurt enough to worry about [20:39] (unless you've been blessed with golden ears, and require audio equipment made from unicorn tears and pixie farts) [20:40] if you've already done them at some approximation of "normal", then normal minus loss = subar. but if they're already overkill, overkill minus loss = normal (in the vaguest possible terms) [20:40] otherwise, just try it on something that you think you'd notice the difference on, and "suck it and see" [20:41] er, *sub-par [20:41] shauno: Well you've got to connect the pixie farts on the amp end, and the unicorn tears to the speakers [20:47] it's more just a generic disclaimer, because there's "always one", and he'll want your blood for even uttering "transcode" [20:48] ogg didn't do bitrates as i remember [20:48] not the same way as mp3 [20:48] i mean, the program had "level 6" etc [20:48] a bit like some other encoiding apps [20:49] yeah, but they're pretty direct parallels. q4 is 128, q8 is 256, q9 is 320 [20:50] btw whats a good ripping app for linux? [20:50] * penguin42 uses k3b [20:50] rhythmbox and other g* ones suck [20:50] they broke some time ago [20:50] I'll deferr on that one. I still do everything with brutally ugly bash scripts [20:50] paranoia? [20:51] or worse. I've been known to use php5-cli where sane people would call for python :D [20:51] q6? 192? [20:51] bingo [20:52] wonder if i can go from 192 ogg to 192 mp3 without crying [20:52] flicking channels. not sure i've ever seen a nick cage film [20:53] * penguin42 has watched Con Air and hmm one or two others [20:54] * penguin42 generally doesn't like him that much [20:54] nope [20:54] seems lame [20:54] right, bed time. nighty [20:54] nn [20:54] * foobarry spots a story about eejit who ate 35 biagra [20:54] v* [20:55] ooh-err [20:55] * penguin42 heard about that, how exactly did he end up taking 35 [20:55] i sense that doesn't end with a comical 'mood' lasting days [20:58] ugh, this flirc dongle is .. naughty words. [21:00] ah i see folk acquire those things in #kodi i think [21:01] I didn't realise it just pretends it's a keyboard [21:01] would really, really prefer something that just uses lirc [21:03] ah i was thinking it was the CEC thing [22:35] argh. pulling hair out trying to figure out how to get the harmony remote working with flirc [22:57] nothing on the Kodi forums? [23:00] yes. pages and pages of conflicting nonsense [23:01] ah par for the course then :D [23:01] it keeps saying to just search harmony for 'kodi' as a built-in profile [23:01] except harmony requires a brand and a model, so you can't search for a single word [23:02] manufacturer Flirc apparently [23:02] i take it that's not listed? [23:03] searching for kodi as both model & brand gave me an MCE profile, which doesn't work with flirc because the rc6 protocl adds huge, huge delays [23:03] I tried the profile that comes up if you search for flirc as both mffr & model, but you then can't program it into the flirc dongle [23:03] because it sets up play/pause/prev/next as media keys which I can't disable, so they go to itunes instead of flirc's app [23:05] right now it's like .. everything. all at once, everything is conspiring against me. divided, they're just silly issues. together, they'll beat me [23:05] i feel a bit like that lately, i think everything electrical in my house has some issue or another [23:06] I'm not sure why I'm even bothering, since I have to replace the flirc thing to eventually achieve what I want anyway [23:07] I want to send some buttons on the remote to a background process, so having it act as a keyboard works against me [23:11] what keys on the keyboard does it work as ? [23:12] shauno: You can probably also watch the events from that specific input device separately as well [23:14] the keys are configurable in the flirc app [23:15] well I mean what does the device send if it acts as a HID device [23:15] so like, you press Enter in the app, and then press a button on the remote. and then every time you press that button, it sends Enter [23:27] hm. and the skin I've been using for years has gone full-metal-idiot too. gah [23:32] so simple enough story. I'm trying to move from xbmc ... 11? I think on my 1st-gen appletv, to kodi on the pi [23:32] *only* because the appletv just doesn't have the horsepower, so I've been transcoding everything into its native format for years [23:33] so most the reason everything feels exceptionally frustrating, is that it's all things I've already had working for years [23:33] like right now, I'm stuck in a dialogue box where I can't seem to navigate to the 'ok' button [23:33] just going round and round in circles wanting 11 back
